Speeding Ticket/ Court

So toward the end of Opera Workshop we started having more and more rehearsals. One was right after church on a Sunday afternoon, but me and my roomaet Bekah went to church in Waterloo that day, so we were speedin epically to make it back in time for rehearsal. We got pulled over in Janesville, where else, and I got a ticket and there was a court date written on it. I asked the officer if I paid the ticket if I still had to go to court because I didn't think I did, but he said yes I did still have to go. So I paid the ticket the next day, and just waited around for the court date. Today was the court date. My parents came out last night even though I told them they didn't have to. We get to the court house this morning and they tell me I'm not on the list and that my ticket has been paid in full. Well of sourse it was paid in full, I paid it. She said everything was all taken care of, and that I didn't even need to be there. My parents drove all the way up from Des Moines last night and spent the night in a hotel just to not have court and drive back today. They were very pleased to say the least lol. You would think as many people as the Janesville cops pull over they would know how the system works by now, but I guess it's to much to ask of a person to do their job the correct way.
Katie Zimmer lol :)
